 The more skillful you are in creating an occasional artful environment for yourself, the more you will enjoy life! That is one of the mantras behind the Creating Your Vision Photography Workshop series. Orchestrate, curate, and create your daily life as if you were painting your masterpiece because you only get one canvas.

 Have you finally stopped shoulding all over yourself? Get out there and do shit!

Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something" "What are we holding on to, Sam?" "That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for"  I am honored that “Excess” (20 x 29.5” le 3/5) has been juried into the Duxbury Art Complex Museum Winter Exhibition! Upon moving to the east coast, I was fascinated by the rich history of Duxbury and New England. Years later, I look back and can’t help but smile as I realize I have become part of it. . . . . “Founded in 1917, the Duxbury Art Association is one of the oldest arts organizations in the country. Our mission to help local art and artisans thrive was set forth by our founders, great artists Charles Bittinger, John Singer Sargent, and Frank Benson.” . . “Excess . . .” What is overstimulation? How does it affect our lives? Our saturated bodies and brains are being fed more information than they can actively process and it is hurting us. Exploring the dripping excesses in our busy lives such as screen time, religious and political issues, relationships and possessions often mean for many people, a good life is about more. Perhaps a good life is about less . . .  One never knows who you will meet in the magical elevators of The Biltmore Hotel.
 "But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more."
~Gibran  It looks like I have come to the attention of the authorities in this sculptural exhibit of art made from found and repurposed materials with “Vertebrae”, made from gutting a grand piano and baking the white keys at 475 degrees for 20 minutes to combine them with a single ebony key on the poster! Proud to exhibit in this spectacular gallery, alongside amazingly talented sculptors from the Northeast.
Dates: November 17 - December 30, 2022 Opening: Dec 11 . . . . #lostandfound #foundobjects #repurposed #mixedmedia #sculpture #rituals #artgalleries @theumbrellaarts. . . . “Vertebrae” 34 x 12” Gutting a grand piano and baking the white keys at 475 degrees for 20 minutes to combine them with a single ebony key was a journey into what it may feel like to be ebony among ivory spaces, the struggle against being overwhelmed by the social tribe. Often lonely and sometimes frightened, but no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. |
